And the other providers, Amazon, BT, etc Of course it isnt that simple - but the very idea we don’t all pay for itv is utterly ridiculous Edited July 9, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have that so easily with ITV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,570 Posted July 9, 2021 Too many adverts on ITV but too much ‘expert’ analysis on BBC and I don’t like Gary Lineker’s jokey style. I might watch on BBC but turn the volume down during the intervals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 662 Posted July 9, 2021 BBC of course, but I have to say I can't stand the smugness of the likes of Lineker, Shearer and especially Rio Ferdinand. The prime reason I do not watch MOTD, bunch of t*ssers. ITV aren't much better, and what are they playing at with replacing Clive Tyldesley with that Matterface with Lee Dixon? Do they not go on Twitter?! Tyldesley must also be pretty gutted, did England games for all those years and now can't even do a final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 903 Posted July 9, 2021 Don't mind either really, although as several have said BBC out of habit/ no adverts. I'll have the sound off because I cannot stand a bunch of so called experts, who are being paid a small fortune, talking about something I've just watched and am perfectly able to form my own opinion on.

ged in the onion bag 856 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Always the beeb! Quality and the finishing montage is usually brilliant! Pavarotti or Baddiel and Skinner? Based on this poll, any point taking out advertising space on ITV? Edited July 9, 2021 by ged in the onion bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t see how we are paying. Other than emotionally as the adverts are so tedious. BBC all day long for any live football, hate the way they go to a break just after the teams walk out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,225 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) BBC commentary is better but I'll watch a bit of ITV if anything controversial happens just to see angry Roy have a rant. Always good for a laugh. Edited July 9, 2021 by The Raptor The dinosaurs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you never ever buy anything? Part of pretty much every product you buy will incorporate marketing and advertising built in to its price. Believe me, we all pay for it.

cambridgeshire canary 6,757 Posted July 9, 2021 I mean, the BBC is the better option.. Except that Iplayer has been bugging out on me and playing in super low quality while ITV player has always been good quality and full HD. Ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
